3/25/15: Billy Beane is so good at his job that he can moonlight and no one seems to care. Beane has consistently made the Oakland A's a playoff contender on a shoestring budget and singlehandedly redefined how all sports use analytics. He also likes soccer. Beane has been hired on as a consultant to the Dutch soccer (or futball) team AZ Alkmaar. In the past, he has advised the San Jose Earthquakes of the MSL. Beane's influence cannot be overstated, as almost every professional team in every major sport in North America is now heavily invested in analytics to get that competitive edge.

3/18/15: At this point in the Money Ball era, one has to trust what Oakland A's General Manager Billy Bean does. He seems to have an endless supply of unknown prospects or washed up veterans to plug into the lineup and win 88 games. The A's look like they are giving another shot to right-handed pitcher Jarrod Parker now. He missed all of last season with a UCL tear in his elbow - that meant Tommy John surgery. Many teams will take a chance on a post-Tommy John guy, but this was Parker's second TJ surgery. He threw 20 pitches last week against minor league hitters, but did come back pain-free and feeling good.

3/11/15: Starting pitcher Barry Zito was among the first successes of the Oakland A's 'moneyball' philosophy. He developed into an elite pitcher and even won the Cy Young. Unfortunately for Zito, injuries and struggles have defined his last five or seven years, and most baseball people have long moved past him. Zito, at age 36, is back where it all began. He made his first start in 19 months and fared pretty well. Aside from giving up a two run homer to Cubs third baseman (for now, until Kris Bryant hits a service deadline) Mike Olt, Zito looked like his old self. He struck out two and hit the mid-80's with his fastball.

3/4/15: There is always something unsettling for all teams that are not the Oakland Athletics when the A's pick up a player that another team waived. Thee is always a feeling of 'what did we miss with this guy that the A's see?". That reputation is well-earned by Oakland because they continue to win with no-name or discarded players. The A's are at it again, this time with outfielder Alex Hassan. The Baltimore Orioles waived him last week and Oakland snatched him up. Interestingly enough, it is the second time the A's have claimed Hassan off waivers this offseason.

2/11/15: Score one for the big boys. The A's won their arbitration hearing against pitcher Jarrod Parker. Parker missed all of last season recovering from Tommy John surgery and had asked for $1.7 million this season. The arbitrators sided with the A's for half of that. It seems odd that $850,000 would go to arbitration when millions are being thrown about for other players, but that is the MLB system. Parker, as well as A.J. Griffin are expected to be back on the field in June. Meanwhile, Sean Doolittle will miss some time at the beginning of the season, but probably not too much as he recovers from a 'slight tear of the rotator cuff'.

1/28/15: For several years now, the Oakland A's have wanted to move out of the dilapidated Oakland Coliseum to a new home in San Jose, California. The problem was that the San Francisco Giants own the rights to that territory and did not want the competition. So then-commissioner Bud Selig organized a committee to 'solve' the problem. And the committee did committee-like things, which included never coming to a solution (though they did manage to keep most lawsuits from happening). Now that committee has disbanded, but the A's are still not any closer to finding a new stadium than when they started over half a decade ago.

1/21/15: History will probably remembre the Yunel Escobar Era in Oakland the same way a frat guy will remember a lost weekend. It probably happened, but there is no real proof. Just four days after the A's acquired Escobar from the Tampa Bay Rays, they traded him to the Washington Nationals for reliever Tyler Clippard. That was the ninth trade between the A's and Nationals, enough to swap an entire starting lineup and then some. The ironic part is that A's GM Billy Beane is seen as a very progressive executive while Nats' GM Mike Rizzo is the exact opposite. Maybe they should just trade teams and get it over with.

1/14/15: The Oakland A's continued to retool their roster, a process that never seems to end with the tireless Billy Beane pulling the strings as the team General Manager. But this time they actually traded some prospects in exchange for some immediate help. The A's sent catcher John Jaso and prospects Boog Powell (not that one) and Daniel Robertson to the Tampa Bay Rays for ultra-utility man Ben Zobrist and Yunel Escobar. Zobrist is in the final year of his contract and is due $7.5 million. He still has some spark left and seems like the kind of player that would fit in well in Oakland.

1/7/15: Is A's GM Billy Beane is getting away from his Moneyball roots and going with a more traditional GM strategy? Last season, he made big moves at the trade deadline to beef up the lineup, but those moves largely backfired and the A's were eliminated in the Wild Card round. The A's have been active this offseason, most notably trading Josh Donaldson to the Blue Jays for, well, not much. Actually, that kind of trade is Beane's specialty. His past trades have reaped big rewards for brining in unknown players. Or maybe he was just mad that Donaldson wanted a night off.

12/3/14: The Oakland A's have gone into complete overhaul mode over the past few weeks. They signed Billy Butler to a three year deal and then traded away Josh Donaldson - arguably their best position player for the past two years - for Brett Lawrie and three prospect. General Manager Billy Beane believes that he had to do something big to get more out of the lineup and cites the fact that the A's finished 11 games behind the Angels this season. It only gets tougher from here, though. The Rangers are getting healthy and the Mariners just signed Nelson Cruz.

10/29/14: Brandon Moss has emerged as a great player for the Oakland A's over the past couple of years and was rewarded for his good work by getting to his first All-Star Game back in July. But he struggled mightily over the second half of the season, batting just .173 with four home runs. Turns out Moss had a torn labrum and had surgery last week to repair it. It will be another three months before he is running again, and that is just before spring training. He may be eased into playing again next year, but he should be able to be ready to go for Opening Day.

10/22/14: The Oakland A's (read: GM Billy Beane) will be scrutinized this offseason for essentially pushing all the chips to the middle of the table to finally make some progress in the playoffs and win the World Series. That is probably fair and makes for good copy for the media. Of course, after Beane made big moves at the trade deadline the team stumbled its way through the rest of the season and was eliminated in the Wild Card Game by eventual AL pennant winner Kansas City. But Oakland is not a lost cause. They still are loaded with talent and should be able to make another run next season.

10/8/14: The A's were able to make the MLB postseason, even after collapsing in the second half of the regular season. Unfortunately, they were eliminated 9-8 by the upstart Kansas City Royals in the Wild Card Game, so the season has come to an end. Immediately following the elimination, many called for the job of GM Billy Beane. Beane rolled the dice this season in making big trades for star pitching for a postseason run. But the GM can only get the team to the playoffs, and he did. From there, it is up to the manager to manage and the players to play. It is a tough loss for the A's, but one they will certainly learn from.

10/1/14: What a crazy year it has been for the Oakland A's. They dominated the majors for four months. Then they went into a prolonged slump that saw them lose their five game lead on the AL West (to see it turn into a 10 deficit behind the Angels after all was said and done). They managed to keep enough going to edge out the Mariners for the final Wild Card spot. At the end of the day, they are in the playoffs and everyone starts out with the same record. The A's have a tough road ahead as they visit the KC Royals for the Wild Card game, and KC has been playing well of late. The winner goes up against the Angels.

9/24/14: It will come down to the wire for the Oakland Athletics. This is the team that was simply dominant throughout the season until August, and now they are fighting for a wild card spot in the playoffs. The A's are leading in the clubhouse over Kansas City and Seattle, but nothing is assured at this point. However, if Oakland can win out, or at least avoid losing ground, then they can make the playoffs. And, quite frankly, many people are hoping to see Oakland and Detroit battle once again in the playoffs. We will know in a week.

9/17/14: The Milwaukee Brewers are saving the A's right now. Only the Brewers had a bigger fall from grace over the past several weeks than the A's. The difference is that Oakland still has a reasonable shot at making the playoffs, while Milwaukee will probably be done for in a few weeks. At least Sean Doolittle is coming back. The team activated him off the 15 day DL, though he has missed the past three weeks with an intercostal strain. Doolittle has had a strong season as the closer, but the A's must get in position during the earlier parts of games to use him effectively.

8/28/14: Somebody needs to wake the A's back up. Oakland has dominated the AL West (and even most of the American League) for the entire season, but has fallen into a mid-August funk. The Angels have overtaken Oakland, though that can change on any given day. Interestingly enough, the Detroit Tigers have lost their lofty perch in the AL Central to Kansas City. Ironically enough, both teams made major moves at the trade deadline and many are expecting the two teams to meet in the ALCS. But right now, it is possible that one or maybe both could miss the postseason altogether.

8/21/14: The A's have picked a terrible time to fall into a slump, losing five consecutive games. That has allowed the Angels to make up ground (even if L.A. is playing .500 ball) and tie the A's for the AL West lead. Who ever wins the division will likely have the top seed in the American League and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Whoever loses will probably get the first wildcard spot and be forced to play in a play-in game against the second wild card winner. Neither team wants to get into a one game playoff and burn a starting pitcher, so this will be extremely entertaining to watch these teams match each other down the stretch.

8/14/14: How good are the Oakland A's this season? The Angles have an impressive .586 winning percentage and are 20 games over .500 on the season. And the A's are a comfortable four games ahead of them. In fact, no other team in all of Major League Baseball has a winning percentage over .600. The A's also have a staggering run differential of 173. The A's are in second place at 82. As of last Saturday, Oakland was also the only team to have allowed less than 400 runs on the season. With a beefed up pitching staff, the A's are ready for the playoffs and could get into some great series with the Angels and Detroit Tigers.

8/7/14: The trade deadline was fun to watch this year as the A's and Tigers exchanged blows to see who could make the biggest trade. While this is very un-Billy Beane-like, the A's have a chance to win the World Series this season, so sometimes you have to go all-in. Oakland again upgraded their pitching staff by acquiring Jon Lester from the Red Sox. Lester is a very solid pitcher and has won on the biggest stage. The cost was expensive, though, as the A's traded away all-star left fielder Yoenis Cespedes. Hopefully this will come full crescendo with the A's and Tigers facing off again in the playoffs.

7/31/14: Oakland made their big acquisition a few weeks ago when they traded some top end prospects to the Chicago Cubs for ace pitcher Jeff Samardzja. That showed they were really vested in making a run at the World Series this season. But they are not finished. they acquired right handed pitcher Deck McGuire from the Toronto Blue Jays last week as well. McGuire is a former first round pick who has struggled in the last couple of years. There is no word on if he will get to the majors with Oakland, but, if nothing else, will provide organizational depth.

7/24/14: Oakland's lead in the AL West has tightened up a bit and may get even smaller as the L.A. Angels finally added a true closer (Huston Street) to their roster. So now it is the A's turn to make a move in the power struggle that is the AL West. Both teams are virtually assured of making the playoffs, but the division winner will not have to participate in a one-game playoff to move on to the real playoffs. But the A's may want to strengthen their pitching even more and may be in the market for another closer themselves.

7/17/14: Heading into the All-Star break, the Oakland A's owned the best record in all of Major League Baseball, which surely has given fits to the front offices of their deep pocketed American League West Rivals. Their success has been due to a balanced attack of outstanding pitching and timely offense. Unfortunately, with about 65 games left in the season, the A's are showing some vulnerability. Manager Bob Melvin admits that the offense has struggled of late. That has allowed the L.A. Angels to climb back into the AL West race. It should be a very interesting race to the finish line, but the A's have shown that they are as good as anyone in the league.

7/10/14: It took some time, hurt feelings and a threat from Major League Baseball, but the Oakland A's have reached an agreement to on a 10 year lease to stay at O.com Coliseum. The extension was announced by the team a couple of weeks ago, but the City boycotted the final approval vote, superficially, because the announcement came before it was formally completed. They threatened to vote against the lease until MLB Commissioner Bud Selig gave the team approval to move immediately if the lease was rejected. That prompted a change of heart from Oakland, and the lease was approved. Ironically, this may force the Oakland Raiders to leave town as they want a new stadium.

7/10/14: It took some time, hurt feelings and a threat from Major League Baseball, but the Oakland A's have reached an agreement to on a 10 year lease to stay at O.com Coliseum. The extension was announced by the team a couple of weeks ago, but the City boycotted the final approval vote, superficially, because the announcement came before it was formally completed. They threatened to vote against the lease until MLB Commissioner Bud Selig gave the team approval to move immediately if the lease was rejected. That prompted a change of heart from Oakland, and the lease was approved. Ironically, this may force the Oakland Raiders to leave town as they want a new stadium.

7/3/14: Oakland continues to own the American League West and has a comfortable 4.5 game lead on the LA Angels as the season is about half over. There a lot of reasons the A's are in first place and have the best record in all of MLB, and closer Sean Doolittle is a major one. He let up a run last week to the Miami Marlins, and that was the first run he had allowed in 26.2 innings - one out short of three cumulative complete games. In fact the last time he gave up a run was April 26. He has an amazing 56/1 K/walk ratio, with the last free pass issued on May 20.

6/26/14: The A's are doing what they do best: find overlooked players, give them a shot and watch them excel. Such is the case with pitcher Scott Kazmir. Kazmir was once an up and coming youngster who seemed destined for a great future. Then he seemed to lose his ability to pitch and fell all the way down to independent ball. He got back to the majors with Cleveland late last year and pitched relatively well. But he did not get much attention in free agency and eventually signed with the A's. He is tearing it up this season with a 2.57 ERA and a 43/4 K/BB ratio. Another reason the A's are owning the AL West.

6/19/13: When will other teams realize that A's left fielder Yoenis Cespedes is a one-man wrecking crew. The Los Angeles Angels were the latest team to test him and come up short. Mike Trout hit a liner that bounced off of Cespedes' glove. That gave the Angels confidence to send baserunner Howie Kendrick home. Cespedes picked up the ball and threw a perfect strike over 300 feet to get the out at home. A simply amazing throw from the outfield that this writing cannot possibly do justice for. He got a similar assist the following night, giving him a league-leading nine outfield assists this season.

6/12/14: The Oakland A's got back into the news last week. They have been overlooked for most of the season, despite the fact that they are the best team in the American League, and possibly in all of MLB. Oakland got into a bit of a scuffle with the Baltimore Orioles. It started with a hard tag on Manny Machado, and continued with Machado (unintentionally) hitting catcher Derek Norris with his swing. Machado also threw his bat towards third base after getting pitched to inside. The A's stood up for themselves and apparently let Machado know that his antics were not appreciated.

6/6/14: If there was any doubt that Oakland is now a big league contender, then the A's fans have dispelled all questions. The Oakland faithful are up to date on their players and are letting those that are not performing well (read: Jim Johnson) know about it with a chorus of boos. Johnson has struggled this season, posting a 6.55 ERA in 22 appearances. He gave up two critical runs to the Detroit Tigers in a loss last week as well. Fellow reliever Sean Doolittle is sticking up for his guy, and that shows some great character. Of course the best way for Johnson to win back the fans is to start shutting down opponents when he gets the chance.

5/29/14: Another strong week for the Oakland A's. If this keeps up, then people will have to acknowledge that this team is for real, despite not having any high-priced superstars (possibly because they do not have any high-priced superstars). Unlike the upstart Brewers, the A's improved their lead over the rest of the AL West, while the Brewers are starting to come back down to earth. Oakland has an amazing run differential so far this season - around 100 more runs scored than given up. This is a likeable group and could be a player in late October.

5/22/14: We should all just face the facts now, the Oakland A's are much smarter than everyone else. To wit: the team lost starters Jarrod Parker and A.J. Griffin, a good 40% of their starting rotation, to season ending elbow injuries. They called upon veteran journeyman Jesse Chavez, he of the +5 career ERA over parts of six seasons. Of course, Chavez has been almost unhittable this season. He has a sub-2.5 ERA this season with 51 K's to only 12 walks. He is part of the reason that the A's are owning the AL West, despite not having nearly the payroll as teams like the Texas Rangers or L.A. Angels.

5/15/14: Oakland must be a major thorn in the side of teams like the Rangers and Angels, and even the Mariners. Those teams have spent big big money on big big names. Oakland, of course, has stuck with its advanced metrics formulas and have a roster full of value players. A fourth of the way through the season and it looks like math is beating wallet. The A's continue to lead the AL West by a couple of games. Perhaps the other teams in the division would be wise to put down their checkbooks and turn on their calculators when free agency rolls around again.

5/8/14: The Oakland A's have long been the poster boy of Sabermetrics, and they are doing it again this season. While they do not have the best record in all of Major League Baseball anymore, they are on top of the American League West Division. Again. They are seven games over .500, which has given them a two game cushion over the Texas Rangers and three and a half games over the L.A. Angels - two teams that spend a ridiculous amount on player salaries. Perhaps the most striking discrepancy is in run differential, where the A's are +53, while the Rangers are -18.

5/1/14: Teams like the Oakland Athletics must give big money teams (such as the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels) endless fits. Oakland, like Tampa, simply does not have the financial resources to buy themselves into the playoff picture Once again, the A's are at the top of the AL West (tied with the Texas). While the playoffs are close to six month out, it has to feel good to know that deep pockets do not necessarily mean success, and that cash-strapped clubs do have a realistic chance to play meaningful games late in the season.

4/24/14: While the Oakland Raiders of the NFL are desperately trying to flee the antiquated Coliseum in Oakland, the A's are trying to stay. There have been many reports about how poor of shape the facility is in, including severe plumbing issues that leads to sewage leaks. The Raiders agreed to a one-year extension to allow the city to find an alternative. Conversely, the A's are trying to sign a 10 year lease to stay in the same place. Even stranger is that the A's may be the best team in baseball and probably could command major interest if they wanted to move, yet they seem content playing in a smaller market.

4/17/14: Once again, Oakland is showing they are simply smarter than the rest of the league. Through two weeks, they are tied with Milwaukee for the best record in all of Major League Baseball, and first in both the AL West and American League. Once again, the A's are simply tough to score upon. They are surrendering just three runs per game, while scoring five - that has led to their 10-4 record. They also have started to separate themselves from the big budget teams in the division, with Seattle being in second place and still 2.5 games back.

10/4/12 Down 5-1 in the fourth inning, the Oakland Athletics, just like the way their season has gone, came back from a big deficit to win the game and the AL West. The A?s scored six runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, two of which came on an error by Rangers center fielder Josh Hamilton. The A?s would score five more runs the rest of the game. In the ninth inning, Grant Balfour retired Rangers third baseman Michael Young on a fly ball to center field to seal the 12-5 win for the A?s and the AL West. On June 30th, the A?s trailed the Rangers by 13 games in the standings. This is the first division crown in six years and 15th in their franchise. With a payroll of $59.5 million, the lowest in baseball, the A?s found a way to overcome the odds and take the division on the last day of the season. They will play the Detroit Tigers in the Division Series.

Unfortunately for the Athletics, Chris Sale continued his dominant season as he led the Chicago White Sox to a 7-3 victory over Oakland on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field. Bartolo Colon got the start for Oakland, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing five earned runs on nine hits and two walks. Despite the rough outing, his earned run average still stands at a very respectable 3.55 to go along with a 9-9 record. Offensively for Oakland, Jonny Gomes and Adam Rosales each went deep in the loss, while Derek Norris also added a run batted in. While the team did manage eight hits, they only got one runner in scoring position throughout the entire game.

The Oakland Athletics improved to 59-51 in the season behind a strong performance from starter Bartolo Colon as they defeated the Los Angeles Angels by the score of 10-4 on Tuesday night. Colon pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one earned run on four hits and zero walks. He also added five strikeouts as he lowered his earned run average to 3.38 on the year thus far. Offensively for Oakland, Jonny Gomes, Josh Reddick, Derek Norris and Adam Rosales all went deep in the victory, while Jemile Weeks also added a run batted in to his season total. Overall, the team managed 13 hits off Angels pitching and were a solid 2-7 with runners in scoring position.

Travis Blackley did not have his best stuff on Sunday and could not keep his team in the game as the Oakland Athletics lost to the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 6-1. Blackley lasted five innings, surrendering five earned runs on six hits and a four walks. He also added a strikeout over 93 pitches as he picked up his third loss of the year. Offensively, the Athletics managed just seven hits, with Yoenis Cespedes accounting for the only run batted in of the game, his 54th of the year. Overall, the team his a pedestrian 3-12 with runners in scoring position and failed to get the big hit when it counted.

Despite a recent hot streak, the Oakland Athletics still find themselves five games out of first place with a 54-45 record and will need to continue their hot hitting if they want to catch the first place Texas Rangers. Josh Reddick has been an offensive force for the A's so far this year, putting together a .271 batting average to go alone with 22 home runs and 49 runs batted in. He also boasts a strong .349 OBP so far this season. Outside of good numbers from Reddick and Yoenis Cespedes, the A's have struggled offensively throughout the year and rank near the bottom of the league in runs, batting average, on base percentage and slugging percentage heading into August.

The Oakland Athletics completed a rare four game sweep of the New York Yankees on Sunday in extra innings as they defeated the Bronx Bombers by the score of 5-4 over 12 innings. Bartolo Colon got the start for Oakland and lasted 6.2 innings, allowing four earned runs on eight hits and a walk. He also struck out five batters over the course of his 84 pitch outing. Offensively, Brandon Inge, Kurt Suzuki and Seth Smith all homered on the day, while Coco Crisp also added a run batted in. Overall on the day, however, the team was just 1-6 with runners in scoring position.

The Oakland Athletics heralded rookie Yoenis Cespedes hit the first walk-off home run of his career on Thursday, a 3-run bomb in the bottom of the 9th that gave the Athletics a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Perhaps more unexpectedly, the win capped off the Athletics' sweep of the Dodgers, the owners of the second-best record in baseball. The sweep brings the Athletics to 34-36, as they inch closer and closer to .500, although they still remain 9 games behind the first-place Texas Rangers. Cespedes is batting .279 on the season so far, with 7 home runs and 30 RBI.

The Oakland Athletics won their second game in a row against the Boston Red Sox as the team won a close 4-2 ballgame at Fenway Park on Wednesday. Athletics starter Brandon McCarthy gave the team a solid 6.2 innings of work, allowing only one run on five hits and three walks as he earned his second victory of the season. McCarthy also added 4 strikeouts over 113 pitches. Designated hitter Seth Smith had two hits, including two runs batted in that ultimately made the difference in the game. Brian Fuentes came into for ninth, and while he allowed a run, earned his first save of the season.

Still trying to get past that .500 mark on the season, the Oakland Athletics dropped two of three to the Baltimore Orioles this past weekend at Camden Yards. After winning the series opener 5-2, the team lost Saturday's game handily by the score of 10-1. Looking to take the series on Sunday, the team came up short in a 5-2 loss. Pedro Strop got the win for the Orioles, who moved to 14-8 on the young season. Grant Balfour got the loss on the day, giving up a three-run home run and failing to record a putout out of the bullpen. The Athletics go into Fenway Park to face a red-hot Red Sox team on Monday.

While the team currently sits among the worst in baseball in every major offensive category, the Oakland Athletics have managed to scrape together 8 wins so far on the young season and are in second place in the American League West. Newcomer Yoenis Cespedes leads the team in batting, home runs and runs batted in with a .254 clip, 4 HR's and 15 RBI's. Veteran Bartolo Colon has stepped in and been masterful so far this year, pacing the squad with a 2.54 earned run average and 3 victories so far. The team will compete in series against the Chicago White Sox and the Baltimore Orioles to finish off their April schedule.

For the first time in quite a while, the fans in Oakland have something to be excited about. The A's went out during the offseason and signed Cuban sensation Yoenis Cespedes to a four-year, $36 million contract, providing the team with a much needed boost of adrenaline. Cespedes was billed as a hitter with above average power and the ability to steal bases, and so far he has yet to disappoint. After four games in MLB, Cespedes is tied with the league lead in HR's with 3 and is second in RBI's with 7, pacing Oakland to a 2-2 record in the first week of the season.

Oakland Athletics Tickets - Team History

Oakland Athletics tickets allow fans the opportunity to experience one of Major League Baseball's teams on the rise. The A's, established in 1901 but based in Oakland since 1968, have won nine World Series championships to go along with 15 AL pennants. The A's play at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and have called it home since the park opened in 1964. The park also has one of the smallest capacities in the MLB at only 35,000 seats.

Oakland Athletics Tickets - 2011 Season Info

It's been tough sledding for the Oakland A's in recent years, but the team looks to build off a great 2010 season and take big steps forward in the AL West. After finishing second in the division last season, the club put a focus on adding offensive firepower like Matsui. However, at the Mid-Season, the A's still aren't showing much promise. They fired their manager, and have continued to have a losing record with the new one (Bob Melvin). Still sitting in last place in the AL West, the A's have a lot of work to do before the season is up.

Oakland Athletics Tickets - Ticket Information

Oakland Athletics tickets ensure that fans see the Athletics playing top contenders throughout the entire MLB season. The A's are looking for 2011 to be the year they take control of a competitive American League West. With matchups with great teams like the Texas Rangers and the Los Angeles Angels and non-divisional meetings with the San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees throughout the season, the A's will have plenty of opportunity to test themselves against top talent in 2011. Be a part of this great tradition and don't miss the action!
